Installing the package or importing the module exfiltrates basic information about the host, and the package has no other purpose.
Category: PROBABLY_PENTEST - Packages looking like typical pentest packages, but also anything that looks like testing, exploring pre-prepared kits, research & co, with clearly low-harm possibilities.

Reasons (based on the campaign):
-
The package contains code to exfiltrate basic data from the system, like IP or username. It has a limited risk.
-
The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation.
Source: ossf-package-analysis (429da42d718cc5f399915b0f5d2f25d3d86f9286a96be2f0661216bd13dc6f17)
